Efficient at using up all resources and extracting as much value from them as possible.

People forget that ‘efficient’ in a capitalist sense means that all resources are used. So when you privatize security, prisons, public transport, etc. guess what happens: those companies try to extract as much value as possible and do as little as possible. Because that is what capitalist efficiency is.

Nornally first the capacitor and then the motor. The capacitor is there to absorb the power surge when the motor starts up.

And why do you think the US keeps playing this role in Europe? What possible motive could they have?

So it’ll end up being a platform of trolls and bigots just screaming into the void and paying for the privilege. What a fabulous idea.
